Hi Everyone - hope you're having a great Saturday!
This card is for two challenges - the first is in celebration of this week QFTD - Queen Julia (aka Crafty Julia). Her gallery is filled with fun colorful and unique creations, and it didn't take me long to find one to CASE: { Julias Bright & fun Celebrate the Season Card } Thank you Julia for your inspiration and all your sweet comments.
I kept the basic ornament theme and sketch - used a different ornament, sentiment and ribbon.
This card is also for today's Inspiration Challenge - Stef shared a great website called Signals - which had lots of fun gift items. I chose this ornament as my inspiration: { Signals – Wlanut Wish Ornament }
To make this card I stamped and gold embossed then die cut the ornament. die cut and stamped the sentiment tag and assembled that to the Bow. Then I die cut the pine branches and twigs, sponged them a bit, embossed the second layer and put it all together with LOTS of glue & dimensionals!!
Thanks everyone for taking a look.
Hugs and Blessings,
Audrey

Just stunning, Audrey, and I see I am not the only one to think so. I have been wanting to order those beautiful pine branches. They really make a beautiful Christmas or winter card.

I saw that comment you made on my card - I never would have guessed we cased the same card of Julia's as they look so different. In fact, when I first saw your card, I was wondering which one you had selected as I didn't remember seeing anything like this in her gallery - but I was so caught up in the beauty of your card that I never went to see it. Seriously, this is one gorgeous card. I really want that folliage die - I almost ordered it the other day and decided against it. Just wanted to drop by and tell you again how much I love your card! Hugz!!! Have a great week.

What a coincidence...same ornament, same ribbon, same day...the planets must have been aligned. Lovely card. I really like the added touch of the greenery
